In the heart of the Tasman region, on 5 acres of countryside with a picture-perfect view of the Richmond Ranges, is Higgs Rest – a rustic rural lodge for the retreaters and the adventurers.
Luxury redefined
Higgs Rest has all the spaces you desire, whether you are resting or adventuring
Four bedrooms, each with its own view; an expansive lounge with sofas to sink into; a large open-plan country-style kitchen with log burner and adjacent dining; a light-filled conservatory, and a vine-covered courtyard with open fire, spa pool and outdoor shower. Beyond that, a paddock leads you to the river's edge and a secret swimming hole.
At Higgs Rest, time unfolds as you desire. Days can be slow – with leisurely walks and feasts of local produce – or adventure-packed – exploring the Abel Tasman National Park, Tasman Taste Cycle Trail, and multiple beaches on the doorstep. Either way, days end gently at Higgs Rest – settled around the fire, sharing stories.
You won't find anything mass-produced at Higgs Rest. We're all about fossicking, repurposing and re-inventing – with textures that invoke ease – wood of all kinds, layered natural fibres and plentiful plants.
Despite its size, Higgs Rest is one of those unique places that feels cosy for two and expansive for groups. It has a special way of welcoming all its guests, whether you're on a personal retreat, a couples escape, or a gathering of many.
We love to host, and we love Higgs Rest. And we can't wait to share it with you.
